Today's bomb?
Infinite continue coin refunds.

That might actually be good since people can rush salvaging before the nerf.
HoT has lots of Hero Challenges, but none in Verdant Brink…

The big bomb will come when HOT actually launches and players see just how much time/effort and money is involved in creating a precursor – the QQ’ing will be Biblical.

“What do you MEAN I have to go to the Queen and dance for her?! Anet! Stop making me GRIND!”
I feel like the action camera was a nod to controller support since it would work super well with such a control scheme. It’s one of those features that no one really asked for, but must have taken quite a bit of dev time. It’s not a good business move to simply add a feature no one has asked for without a way to make money off it.
Thus, I’m going to guess console port or controller support as one of the major unveils since playing with a controller will now be a real option when using the action camera.

Playing with controllers may be fun for PVE I guess. But if you bring your controller to PVE/WvW, you’ll get your kitten handed to you by anybody with a keyboard and mouse.

A nuclear bomb, dropped right on the queen’s palace, and from the mushroom cloud we see zhaitan arise, announcing his return with a thunderous “I’m back kittenes!”

I called it awhile back 250 bolts of Damask lol!
Oh boy… lets have some fun with this…
- Tomes of Knowledge won’t work on Revenants
- Elite specs will have to be unlocked in PvP via gold
- Server merges or WvW no longer server based. Now color based, like EotM
- Scarlet’s Holo Fight, Nightmare Incarnate, and Marionette are new fractal dungeons. Additionally, Marionette becomes a new Guild Event (req 150 ppl to complete)
Still brainstorming other ones…
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

That would be so cool.

They will introduce a new algorithm that will determine what you play the most. If it is PvE all your dalies will be WvW. If WvW they will all be PvP. If PvP they will all be PvE.
“Are you kidding me?” bomb.

Hell yeah! That’ the spirit!!!
I’d add :
- New PvE survival challenge instance introduced with a ladder. Fight against wave of mobs that grow stronger with each wave.

I would actually love this bomb.

I’ll 1up you…
Tomes of Knowledge AND Crafting won’t work on Revenants until the account has one Revenant that was leveled up to 80 the “old fashioned” way.

rofl!
AND you can’t do it through EotM.
Which actually gives me another one:
- EotM points now count towards WvW score XD

Hero point bundles available in the gem store.
Frankly they just need to say “Hi, we really hope you like the expansion Friday.”
Forums filled with how horrible they are to wish us anything when etc etc etc.
I got some for you….
-xp boosters will not work for mastery xp
-fractal level progression will now be through mastery levels, so all fractal levels will be reset
-dungeons will no longer award xp, so as to limit tyrian mastery leveling
and a couple of happy bombs:
- increased drop rates on all crafting materials, with a bonus to materials gained through salvaging
- to offset the dungeon xp being removed, an overall 15% increase to event xp
just some quick thoughts there…
Map completion and a free legendary awarded for being able to turn computer on, after all, you earned it!!
If your having adventurer problems I feel bad for you son, I dodged 99 arrows till my knee took one.
Another positive one possibly:
“prepurchase by 3:00 PM PDT and receive 24 hours early access”
:P
-xp boosters will not work for mastery xp
When they were first talking about masteries, this was actually something that was stated. I think it was in a Zam article that Mike Z stated that none of the current xp consumables (boosters, banners, etc) would work. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this was reinstated to help slow down mastery building.
-dungeons will no longer award xp, so as to limit tyrian mastery leveling
I am actually expecting this to happen to be honest, likely as part of the dungeon decentivization. But, that lost xp will likely be pushed into some other content to make it more desiarable – fractals, or raids most likely. Just like they are doing with gold.

XP boosters, Guild XP Boosts, XP Banners, XP bonuses (both WvW and Account), and XP giving Consumables won’t work either.
Every account’s first Revenant HAS to actually play PvE.
Oh, and has to complete the Personal Story.
THEN accounts may use scroll and tomes and all other XP items/XP Bonuses on any other Revenants thereafter.
I wonder how many rage quits/refund demands would happen if that were to happen.

I would die laughing. But yeah, they’d never be “quite” that extreme. Even if they did just my base “haha” (tomes don’t work) the uproar would be insane. Mmm I can almost taste that outrage..and it’s not even real yet. XD

If that is Arenanets definition of grind, the next collection we will need to do is console or fight Logan.
